Cecilia B. Schilmoeller , born May 30, 1895, in Rush, Kenton, Kentucky, was the eighth child born to Johann Heinrich (John Henry) and Elizabeth (nee Staverman) Schilmoeller.

She was raised with her two brothers and six sisters on the Schilmoeller Dairy Farm in Rush, Kenton, Kentucky on Kyles Lane near Highland Avenue. The Schilmoellers were hard working, and active members of the Catholic Church.

A favored companion of her brother, Adolf "Ad" (Ăd) , (who was a year and a half older), she was chosen to be his Maid of Honor when he married Stella Koenig on May 3, 1916, (see photo).

In her late teens, Cecilia, or "Cecile" (Suh-seel), as she was often known, began working as a domestic. Later, she went to work for the Icy-Hot Bottle Company, 164 West Second Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, an early Thermos-type bottle manufacturer, working her way up to forelady.

Sadly, Cecilia suffered a burst appendix. She was rushed from the home she shared with her parents, and was admitted to St. Elizabeth's Hospital on June 9, 1920. For four days a continuing effort was made to control the infection in her body, including appendectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. She lost her battle with the infection, and it's resulting complications, on June 13, 1920 at 4:10 p.m. The cause of death was listed as appendectomy with contributory intestinal obstruction.

Her parents laid their young daughter to rest June 16, 1920, at St. John's Cemetery. She was twenty-five.
